I saw that GT team again this year play my boys side in the 15s and they played very well. I don't see any school beating them in that age group but with their broken season who knows. That 13 of theirs is apparently only in grade 9 and he's close to 1st XV worthy, I wouldn't be surprised if he...

Did BSHS play their 1stxv ? if so - very relevant

Put the young fella on the bus to head up the range and travelled down road to Northgate to have a look . BBC won 41-6 and were workmanlike rather than brilliant. I was told BGS had a few out and I understand BBC Aussie A winger is out for season. My observations: 1) BBc 1sts and 2 nds are fit...

New recruit Campbell Parata was Western Australia's title winning U15 flyhalf at the Junior Gold Cup, apparently has an incredible goalkicking boot. He's 16 this year, playing inside centre outside John Nucifora. - Outside centre Tautau Kapea is apparently from Waikato, NZ, and was named best...

[ On a side note, Cheers for the preview. I enjoyed your write up of each team. Well written and really got me excited for the season ahead. i agree . We are all indebted to you Mr King. Great read and as usual fair and unbiased. Would love to know a bit more about the new boys at TSS .If...

BSHS only had 2 under 16 teams last year and by end of season IGS had 1! But every school seems to have E teams in football .

What is it with Qld rugby. something stinks when 2 of the best and certainly the 2 biggest( both 203cm)boys in Blyth of TSS and Hosea of BBC do not try out for Qld Schools?

Re under 14,- a GT parent I know well said there are 4 new boys in that team including one who was QRL captain. I dont know where the new 12 came from but he is brilliant. Also the new boy "Patrick"?? was sensational .NC need to keep up.

I hear St Johns pumped NC today

I won't say I told you so.! Victorian Schools just beat Qld 1" "I do not think Queensland will have the strength in the forwards to challenge. It doesn’t help when the premier QLD schoolboy comp hasn’t even started yet and they’ve picked the Queensland team. No big boppers like Luka, Swain...

Whilst many of the players in the Aust U20s deserved their spot, there seemed to be a rather large sprinkling of IGS and Churchie boys who have been previously coached by these two. Now that is an understatement = 6th place .

Queensland usually get a good wrap from me as they always seem to have a monster tight-five backed up with nimble loosies and a pacy backline of ball runners and distributors. There is usually a fair bit of brash confidence oozing out of the various schoolboy forums from Queensland about their...

what about the boys that made Qld last year.How did they go

Thanks . Yes -that is the one.

Just heard that NC play a top NZ school on 7 July and BBC play them on 9 July.

Is it just me or have BBC gone very quiet in the trials. I know they played ACGS with many out but have they actually played a trial since.?They did not play TSS but every other team did.

You can say what you want about being a product - but playing with the likes of Sua and Croft have taken his game to a whole new level and young Tristan is a good chance to push the incumbent ( if fit - Ikatu of BBC) out of the Qld 1 team

Sure - and Cooper,hunt,Pocock,Sua,Croft,Mason & Stanghorn were not on "bursaries". Nor are the new 3 & 5 in the 1sts.

I hope they prove me wrong but this squad does not look as strong as previous years. It was obvious last year that Hewart,Ngamanu, Farrell J ,Riley, Lenac,Wolske , Luka,Robertson were going to Aussie Schools because they had the previous year or almost had the previous year. Cant say that this...
